I’ve spent my entire career in healthcare IT, almost 18 years. I started my first job at Cerner, where I learned the healthcare IT industry through the Cerner consulting concept. Their products are achieving the same goal, but have different ways of getting there. I’m a computer science graduate.

Whichever side of the industry you’re on, chances are you’re feeling frustrated with IT in healthcare, where the pace of innovation is slow and the memories of painful transitions are vivid. Yet systems, culture, history, beliefs, and habits make it difficult to figure out how to actually make the adaptations needed for better digital health.

“If data is everywhere, how do you protect it?” This thought has been on my mind well before the Change Healthcare hacks (that’s plural) with which U.S. The internet was such a different experience when I was a teenager and in many ways it almost felt manageable. Finally, we’ll post the last third of our conversation.

You hear about nurses, physicians, and other healthcare providers taking the required state and national exams in order to certify themselves in the specific area of medicine in which they choose, but how does one go about becoming certified?

Today’s payers and providers are integrating atypical factors—demographics, social status, and transportation issues—that influence a patient’s health and choices they are making. By all webinar results, today’s healthcare organizations are increasingly building resources and strategy to address social determinants.

After a brief stint living in South Africa, I moved back to Wisconsin and started my career at Epic. After living out my non-compete at a large health system and understanding how hard it is to deliver healthcare, I jumped into this next entrepreneurial thing with co-founders and started Bluetree. It was a bus company.

Healthcare IT News - Telehealth

NOVEMBER 23, 2021

Healthcare IT News sat down with Erica to talk about her personal and professional experiences with telehealth, and how virtual care can improve patient outcomes. What makes it even worse is that most of these patients who are suffering aren't given an opportunity to beat the disease. Even more surprising, he accepted.

As we approach 2023 it is amazing that interoperability, true broad-based connectivity between healthcare systems, looks like the Verizon heatmap back in 2005 when there was as much white on the map as there was red. Depending on where you sit in healthcare today it may feel like 1986 or 2023.

Healthcare activists need communities to affect change. Activists seek to inform and nudge change for the better – political, social, cultural, healthcare, service change.

Months after the concept paper was published, I’ve finally edited my initial response in anticipation of a revised proposal and public comment period that will soon occur. I’ll likely author formal comments and will submit them to NY and/or CMS. I expect that my comments will mirror those below – at least in structure.

We provide a wide range of managed services to healthcare organizations to help them combat threats and comply with regulatory requirements. I’m blessed to do that at Fortified Health Security.

They ask questions to use the answers to make decisions with their clinician partners about their health and treatment. So, reshape because reshape implies that you were less than delighted with how it was before, and you wanted it to take a different direction? Or maybe it’s differently individually.

Now I’m old, nearing the end of my career, and I’m on a national board, the Board of Governors of PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute). Those on national Boards lead, strategize, advocate, communicate. Adam Thompson is on the Board of NQF. My bag of tools grew.

I’ve worked as a consultant with several types of CINs, many different flavors of those.
